Everyone need to watch this, this is seriously another level of outstanding acting by PerthSanta, Sammy, Kay and all the other casts.This episode was so well thought that the production team even included a warning notice about the mental health issue and to watch it with anyone. First ever BL series that put so much care into health issues.Episode 7 is so amazing, knowing the truth and able to handle it with the support of people who stayed and love Solar. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming episode. Just got to watch it to find out the story ourselves and how healing takes time.

Changyu full of doubts and insecurities at figuring out that her father was the "Infamous Traitor" Wei Qilin. This leads her to impose some very cold distance between herself and Xi Zheng (because she feels he probably hates the man who is blamed for the death of his father). This is obviously a tired drama trope to once again separate our lovers so they can go through the journey to come back together. Sigh .... the one flaw in this whole series is just how much the writers have leaned into such obvious tropes, dragging them out for episode after episode. Otherwise, this show is awesome in every other aspect. More on this episode: Li Huai'An is really and truly cementing himself on the, "pathetic and annoying" side of the fence. What a big baby he is and I'm so glad Changyu puts him at arm's length firmly in the 'friend zone'. Xie Zheng is dead on right about him being a pawn. And I love how the Pig-Slaughter Squad has sized him up immediately. Here 'brothers' are there for her.So glad the writers allowed Yu QIan Qian to make back to reunite with Bao and Ning. I've been certain that she would get way-laid and recaptured by psycho-boy on the way back. Of course, we know that he will somehow show up to terrorize her again at some point.

nafisa SO BASICALLY YIRANG HID THE FACT THAT WHEN HER HUSBAND, YIAN’S BROTHER, WANTED TO ABDICATED THE THRONE, HE WANTED YIAN TO BE THE HEIR TO THE THRONE ONLY FOR HIS BROTHER TO DIE FROM THE FIRE. But since yirang can’t let this get out she lets Huiju and yian get married SINCE HE ENGAGED DURING THE SECOND PART OF THE INNER BANQUET AFTER HUIJU AND YIAN HAD THEIR OWN WLATZ DANCE IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, so she could use Huiju as yian’s weakness, and so she invites Huiju and yian to dinner to celebrate their proposal only to fail at getting Huiju drunk, and YIRANG EVEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT YIAN’S LATE FATHER WOULDN’T APPROVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND ACCUSES HIM OF KILLING HIS BROTHER SINCE HE EANTED THE THRONE LIKE WHAT IS THE BITCH WAFFLING ON ABOUT. AFTERWARDS to make yian feel better, Huiju takes him in her yacht and as they’re enjoying it, BTW THE PRODUCERS RECREATE THE ICONIC TITANIC SCENE, Huiju trips and yian catches her and then yian is on top of her and he reminds her that she let HIM due whatever he wants SO HE KISSES HER AND SHE KISSES HIM BACK AND THEY GO IN FOR A DEEEEP KISS. YAYAYAY AND CAN I JUST SAY IM STARTING TO BECOME A JEONGU HATER LIKE I GET YOU LIKED HER, PERHAPS LOVED HER, BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO STAY SO ATTACHED, LIKE DEEP DOWN EVEN HE KNOWS THEIR LOVE IS BECOMING SINCERE even if the marriage itself is a contractual marriage, AND AS YIAN AND HUIJU ARE OFF HAVING THEIR KISS IN THE YACHT, HYEON AND MS DO ARE WAITING FOR HUIJU AND YIAN AND YOU CAN START TO TELL HE’S STARTING TO FORM A CRUSH ON MS DO, SINCE HE EVEN ASKS MS DO WHAT HER TYPE ISSS.

Man, the scene with Changyu's father's "ghost" adding strength to her over her shoulder in battle - that was sweet! This episode was loaded with action and mostly very satisfying.

IrenaK I loved how Su Zhe completely changed after finding out Bai He Huai is his daughter. I didn't even know I needed that relationship in the show! Su Zhe is actually so funny, and he’s totally fine with her calling him a "scummy father", lol! 😂We already saw that guy from the Xie family killing his own family member, and after he exchanged those secret lines with Su Cheng He, it’s very clear he’s in an alliance with him. I suspect the poison girl and the coin guy from the Mu family will eventually end up in an alliance with Su Muyu as well. It’s so interesting to see how all the alliances will unfold! They are already there, only I just don’t know all of them yet. 😏Overall, this episode was amazing! It wasn’t as much about the fights for me as it was about the relationships. And that last scene, with all of the Zodiacs kneeling before Su Muyu, gave me goosebumps! 🔥👏😌

estar this was garbage IMO idk why Pu Le Jian had to go around apologizing, when he wasn't at fault & had done no wrong. but it felt like everyone was dumping on him & i kinda had it... also Amber only came to throw himself a pity party? other then weep & cry what did he offer? oh yeah, he tried to get physically close to Pu Le Jian & the sec Pu Le Jian pulled back, this moron ran into the street - like how old is this dude? his disorder prevent him from maturing too? ************************************************& am sorry, but i can't stand any of the other character's - especially Hsieh Yu He, she is insufferable - she didn't do any one favors by reveling the secret & her always acting like the only adult in the room, when interacting with Pu Le Chien & she's shocked he never saw her as a potential partner? who would f*ckin want to end up with their mother??? that isn't every guys fetish. *********************************************************************************************************************************also i get the side couple is always needed in these drama's/BL's (for whatever reason) but what has the 2nd couple offered? other then filler & a waste of screen time??? i don't care for them, their drama was anticlimactic at best & they not that entertaining as character's even the colorful Li Ching Lung is very bland, as a character - so what is the point? *******************this whole "BL" is such a let down & cause of how Pu Le Jian has been gaslit & shit piled on, i am just seeing red & want/need Pu Le Jian to quit his job & distance himself from the lot. an ep from the end & i wont lie i have NO interest in watching just to see Pu Le Jian end up with Amber. so will stop here - enough is enough - this NOT for me!

It looks like the members of the 12 Zodiacs are from all three families—Mu, Su and Xie. I didn’t catch that before! Now I wonder if they are considered betrayers of their families. At the moment, as the fight for the Patriarch's title and sword intensifies, all those families are going against the 12 Zodiacs, who are the only force standing between them and the current Patriarch. 🤨And the healer really does have her own agenda with the Patriarch! I think she did exactly what he accused her of—trying to spy on his mind and memories. However, I was a little confused: was it Su Zhe who was freed from being Kui? The marked guy the healer knew? It seemed that way, didn't it? 🤔In this episode, it felt even more like there's a potential romance arc between Su Muyu and the healer (sorry, I keep forgetting her name!). But I must say, I felt he could have a strong bond with the poison girl, too. I'm not sure if it's brotherly, just friendship, or something more. That guy is still a complete mystery to me! 🤔😏Also, that landing with the umbrella reminded me so much of Mary Poppins—I couldn't help it! 😂 And his 18-sword technique was just EPIC! 👏🤩😮

_stars It feels like they dumped too much information that was not necessary. I didn't laugh once. All the stories we got to know could easily be guessed from the first two episodes. They didn't need to spell it out for us as if the viewers are toddlers. I like to be told a story in a orderly fashion, this feels rushed. The lady who recognized Ye-Jin seems like a headache in the future. She clearly thinks Hae-Seok likes her, and that addition is completely unnecessary, especially since we already have Kim Bum in the mix. I don't need another second lead. Also I don't think the dad should have let her meet the mom, he should have explained that she left them willingly.

I’m curious about what those red veins on Su Muyu’s neck mean! Is it lingering trauma from the city where everyone died, or something he got from the Patriarch when he refused to kill Changhe? I also wonder if there is a deeper relationship forming between Su Muyu and the physician.However, my heart still belongs to Rabbit and Black Tortoise. Their dynamic is so entertaining—it’s becoming very clear that he is completely into her! 🤗😏😂

KJ2025 MiYu hears chatter in the office about a new AI court opening up and decides to investigate. She is pleasantly surprised when Ji shows up and presents himself as her assistant. 😂🥰 They circle the park introducing themselves and exchanging contact information. This resulted in a small 100 room contract so her boss puts her in charge of all things AI. He is a schemer by default, but this is one of the few times I think he wanted to shut up the techies and give it over to the first willing person to handle it. He really did not get the relevance and scope of the new industry. In his mind he is throwing a small bone to new employee to sink or swim on her own. This absolves him from any blame if things go poorly. MiYu is snubbed and told that her small client is considered unqualified for a gift from the hotel and to buy it herself. She does exactly that and presents a bouquet to Mr Sheng to celebrate his first anniversary. Serendipity has Mr Lu from Lubot in his office and they all get acquainted. ZhenZhen has returned to the office and no matter how distasteful she is as a human being, she can work her ass off and do a good job when motivated. She approaches Ji directly to be added to the AI team to be sure contract negotiations go smoothly. She talked a good game but Ji told her to handle her mess with her clients first. So in retaliation she goes to diva Duan and makes a deal. She calls MiYu and sabotages the contract meeting by putting her as personal delivery service for another client out of the area. This gives Duan three hours to negotiate his own deal with Lubot. This is where ZhenZhen fails in every aspect. She would rather see her hotel fail than have MiYu get credit for a contract she wants. She should pair up with Duan — they could be the devious duo.😝 I am glad Rui is finally getting a bit of screen time but wish it could be with cook. MiYu calls Mr Sheng to get Mr Lu’s contact info and they are all at the same event inviting her over. Ji invites himself along to prevent any other possible suitors for MiYu😂🤣It was a very successful meeting and since he could also chat with Ji directly, they are already in second phase of working out collaboration details. 🥳 ZhenZhen and Duan are both livid that MiYu has a signed contract before meeting time. It was a nice change of pace for MiYu to accomplish the secondary task AND complete her priority client’s contract. She did it respectfully and without complaint. Nie is really looking and sounding haggard. The actor is doing a superb job of going from arrogant ass to terminal cancer patient. Nie too is reprehensible as a human being, but as much as I despise him, I do not wish him a death sentence. I actually hoped diva Duan was heading in a new direction that would suit him better and give him real satisfaction and purpose. Unfortunately old habits die hard and he’d rather collude and curry favor than step out and be his own man. This is exactly why I find him so unsuitable for chef. She knows what she wants out of life and he still doesn’t have a clue. It is nice to see the good guys win for a change. I can actually smile after this episode. 😁

I thought the Patriarch was the most powerful person for all the assassins, but is it actually Soul Reaper Hall? Anyway, Su Muyu is the only one who has ever refused to assassinate the people that the Hall ordered, thus earning the title "Three Refusals." That says a lot about his character—he has some moral code and a self-drawn line that he is not going to cross, no matter who asks him or what are the consequences. 😯😏However, this stand naturally puts him in danger... so, to save his friend, Su Cheng He agreed to take all the tasks Su Muyu declined, earning himself the title "The Undertaker". This is one of the relationships I’m already deeply invested in! 🤗The other one, of course, is Rabbit and Black Tortoise. She is constantly flirting with him, and he is clearly barely holding himself together to avoid falling for her charms. In the end, even when she’s gravely injured and they are supposed to be "enemies," he still won’t let her die and even heals her. I could watch those two all the time! Even though I know they aren't the main focus of the story... oh boy, are they enjoyable! 😏🔥The third thing I want to mention is the healer girl because it feels like she has a secret agenda. She asks way too many questions, gives suspicious looks to everyone, and even knows secret Su clan techniques? Any one of those things would be suspicious on its own, but all of them combined just shouts it! 🤔😯

did not like this ep at all, poor Pu Le Chien both his childhood friends turned out to be b*tches - sorry not sorry. Hsieh was more devastated about her own ass & idk what she was trying to do breaking her promise to Amber, by telling Pu Le Chien that their childhood friend was back. she didn't just blindside Pu Le Chien, but also Amber - who lashed out & hurt Pu Le Chien as if he is the bad guy & in the wrong, in anyway - *********************************************************************************************& sorry but the more i watch this idk how u can define this as BL, this isn't - when Amber isn't male.... so i aint really rooting for anyone, maybe for Pu Le Chien to put some much needed distance between himself & his "friends" he needs to start fresh with out people that will gaslight him & make him feel guilty, when his only fault is that he isn't aware of the fact that they have a crush on him. so i might be the odd one out, but a happily ever after for Pu Le Chien is him going off alone or finding a new love interest - even though his behavior is pretty A-sexual so...

The fighting scenes and abilities are truly amazing! The CGI for their skills looks like a high-definition video game, and the music is an absolute treat for my ears! 🤗However, the scene with the Lump Children was soooooo creepy! 😱 The masks alone were scary enough, but combined with that song, it was honestly worthy of a horror movie.After two episodes, the show looks very interesting. I can't entirely grasp the relationships between—or even within—the clans yet because the dynamics vary so much, but I’ll likely get there as the story progresses.But what I loved the most were Rabbit and Black Tortoise! Their chemistry could set my screen on fire, even during a fight scene. I suspect we might have an "enemies-to-lovers" trope in store for us, and if that’s the case, I am totally here for it! 🤗😍✨
